Hello guys. I have a 98 4 door 5.0. It has the dual media head unit and 6 disk changer with rear seat controls. After resoldering a few times to get the display working it's finally crapped out on me and it's time to just replace it. Before I go ripping everything out I need to know what system this has. I read that being dual media, and having RDS that it would be the premium mach system, but if it doesn't have a sub then it isn't a mach system.
I just want to know if it's an internal or external amp and what I'll have to do to make it sound decent with just a head unit change, atleast as good as it was before, as it sounded good enough for me. I know the changer won't work anymore and don't really care as my new head unit has MP3 CD capabilities and ipod direct connect. Will I just have to connect up the adapter I got and it will be good to go or will I have to do something with a factory amp?
The head unit is a 50x4watt Pioneer. The explorer was manufactured in 2/98 if that helps any as well. I appreciate the help and hope I did enough searching before asking. Thanks!
